1

1

  • 3 In large bowl, beat cake mix, browned butter, water, vanilla and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes (brown flecks from butter will appear in batter). Pour into pan.
  • 4 Bake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • 5 Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat dulce de leche and cream cheese with electric mixer on high speed about 2 minutes or until blended and smooth. Beat in whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Spread frosting over cooled cake. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until serving. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.

Expert Tips

You won't want to substitute margarine or vegetable oil spreads for the butter in this richly flavored recipe. Because those products don't contain the milk proteins found in butter, they will not brown and will burn instead.

For a crunchy topper, try sprinkling this caramel cake with chopped macadamia nuts or toasted coconut.

Substitute 1 container Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting for the frosting, and drizzle with 1/3 cup caramel topping.

I have this cake in the oven, third time making it. It is a favorite among my family and my husband's office. Doesn't taste like 'box' mix. I substitute caramel extract instead of the vanilla and make my own caramel frosting. My mouth is watering just thinking about how good this cake is. This recipe will be a family favorite for many years.

This is by far my absolute favorite cake mix cake recipe, and I've tried a lot. Whenever I make this cake it get's rave reviews. The last birthday I made it for, adults were eating leftover cake from the kids' plates before we put them in the garbage, because as one person put it, "I'm not too proud." I rarely make any other yellow cake recipe, I just can't say enough about it, it is SOOO good!!
